It's alright Courtney, just hold on a bit, I think.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DUNCAN POV:

Currently, Courtney is in the hospital, and I'm in the waiting room, my patience lowering by the second. When can I go see her?

'Excuse me young man, but what is your relationship with Miss Satella?' the nurse asks. At the time, I was zoned out, so I missed her question. 

She waved her hand in my face and said, 'Hello? Anybody home?' and I snap out of it, and tell her that Courtney was my girlfriend. 

Hey, I wasn't lying either. Just telling her what would be happening in the future.

She leads me to the room, which is a pristine, white room, with a small table. On the small table lay her phone, a picture of her Heather and Bridgette and a picture of... me?

Why did she have a picture of me in her room? 

COURTNEY POV:

I wake up from my nap, feeling good. It was my first night of sleep since...the incident. I smile at the picture of me and my two best friends, who were by my side 24/7. Currently though, they weren't with me, as they were out buying froyo. 

My favorite. 

I hear someone coming, and if you grew up in a strict household, you would easily be able to know. Heather or Bridgette, nobody I know, for a fact, walks like that. Except Duncan of cour-wait, DUNCAN'S COMING TO SEE ME?

I quickly pretend to be asleep. Close my eyes and try, not to scream. What was Duncan doing here? Why is he coming to see me? Does he like me? Does he think we are friends? A million questions flood my head.

I only ever tutored him once last year, and that was a fail. He just missed all of our tutoring lessons to go make out with Gwen, go to a party, or he was 'sick'.

Maybe Heather and Bridgette sent him here. 

Yeah, of course they did. 

Okay, so those two keep insisting that ever since he and Gwen—ugh, or 'weird goth girl,' as Heather so kindly puts it—broke up, I must  have a thing for him, and apparently, we'd make a 'super cute couple.' Like, seriously?

All those times I refused to speak, but, secretly, in the very bottom of my heart, I liked him.

His voice, the way he gave me pet names, his humour, when he would talk to me, or give me attention at all. I did like him.

Oh god, I think. I'm probably a tomato right now. 'Look, princess, I know I'm so steamingly hot, but can you at least look at me? I know you're awake.' Oh no. I forgot he was here.

I slowly open my eyes, and look at him.

His eyes are the color of rebellion at midnight—green, like the glow of a stoplight he'd never obey. They burn with mischief and half-meant promises, daring you to break every rule you ever believed in. There's a storm behind them, wild and unfiltered, like he's always on the verge of doing something reckless... and somehow making you want to follow. I tell myself they're just eyes. Just... stupid, infuriating, ridiculously magnetic eyes.

We just stay in the moment, me looking at his beautiful teal eyes, his meeting my onyx.
